Music can seem both real and unreal, and its ability to render certain scenarios and situations depends in part on what means are used. One way to add to a sense of "reality" is to use actual recordings of atmospheres-- field recordings. This album, "Nocturne", is a combination of field recordings, phonographic collages, and sample work, created primarily to evoke places and times important to the composer.

Thanks first to Jerry for the drums and Royce Lee for the arpeggio sequence and other sounds on "Weird Love". Thanks also to CYSTEM for the abstract guitar noises on "Nocturne".

Special thanks for the cover art to A. Nadii and C.P. McDill ( http://www.arianadii.com/ ).

Note: These tracks were remastered from 24-bit audio in October of 2011. You may now download the remastered mp3s, lossless FLAC files, and even a music video for one of the tracks.

Subject: wonderful fun!
a deeply enchanting mesmerizing mix of ambient alien glurbs, and an intensely satisfying atmosphere.

Subject: Strong Work
Well-produced work which seems to draw inspiration from the best of classic industrial, electroacoustic, ambient and electronica and weaves it all into a varied and textural opus which is distinctly Mystified.
